      strategies such as Reserved Instances, Spot Instances, and Right-sizing?
      A To improve application performance by upgrading to the most powerful available instances Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B To reduce unnecessary cloud expenditure while maintaining performance and availability requirements Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C To automatically migrate workloads to cheaper cloud providers in real time Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D To eliminate the need for cloud governance and compliance monitoring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E To consolidate all cloud workloads into a single region for simplified billing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cloud Cost Optimisation is the process of reducing cloud spending without compromising operational requirements. Key strategies include Reserved Instances (1 or 3-year commitments for predictable workloads — up to 75% savings), Spot/Preemptible Instances (use spare capacity at 60–90% discount for fault-tolerant batch workloads), Right-sizing (matching instance type to actual resource needs — avoiding over-provisioned instances), Auto Scaling (paying only for resources needed at any given time), Storage Tiering (moving infrequently accessed data to cheaper storage classes), and Deleting Idle Resources (unused instances, unattached volumes, orphaned snapshots). Cloud cost optimisation is a critical IT governance responsibility for publicly accountable institutions.
